"I feel like if I only listen to positive birth stories, it's setting me up for failure. At least with negative ones, I can prepare for what might go wrong."

Sound familiar? This question came up in my prenatal yoga class recently. It sounds logical, but that's not how your brain works. And it's definitely not how birth works.

In this episode, I'm explaining why people say to only listen to positive birth stories, and whether it will really set you up for failure.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

🧠 How your subconscious mind processes birth stories

😰 What fear does to your body during labour

✨ How positive birth stories program your brain and body for success

🚫 The nocebo effect: why expecting pain creates more pain

📚 The difference between being informed and being traumatized
